Okay, at the last meeting there was a desire to see some 'quick and
dirty' explanations of the various verb tenses (in English) and how they
are used/what differentiates them. A very quick poke at Google has
yielded the following:
TYPES OF VERBS
http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/types.html
The menu on the left of the page lists the various tenses. Clicking
provides information about how a tense is used and examples. Thorough,
but not the handiest cheat sheet type tool.

Quick chart with constructions and examples.

Page with links. More detail, more clicking/navigating back and forth.
Hope this helps. If not, there is a tanker truck load more to be had by
searching Google for "all about verb tenses".

We've been excited by the response to our Open Membership. However, we are no longer accepting new introductions. If you sent in a sample of your work (any maybe also the sample critique) you will be hearing from Thomas within the next couple of days.
If you missed this chance, we might have some news that will interest you. Please visit this blog the first few days in April for more information.

From the book description:
As the daughter of a fortune-telling mother and a scam artist father, Spring Ryan wants nothing more than to leave her past behind, fall in love, and live a nice, normal life. But the Universe had other plans.
For starters, the man Spring fell in love with, Trevor Donnelly, has disappeared off the face of the earth. To make matters worse her mother Lanie, an eccentric nudist, moves in ‘just until she’s done with menopause’, and her boss, Kimberly, has asked her to escort a life-sized condom around town to promote teen abstinence.See more at Amazon.com
